Chapter 39 Night Detective
For a moment, everyone was thinking, the room became quiet, and only the sound of rain slapping on the windows was heard.
"Why don't we go to the city lord's mansion to go tomorrow?" Seeing that everyone stopped talking, Li Ao suddenly suggested.
"No, we can't take risks before we understand the enemy's situation!" Ryder refused decisively.
"But I can't figure out the situation even if I stay here! Why not just call me!" Li Ao's words were not wrong.
"It's really not possible to stay here, we can't wait for time." Jian interrupted, and this time he stood on Li Ao's side.
"I'll go to investigate the situation!" Lianhua suddenly said.
"The necromancer who created the zombie disease is likely to be in the city lord's mansion!" Ryder reminded.
"I know!" Lianhua nodded to Ryder.
"It's so dangerous! Are you sure you're going?" Ryder asked looking at Lianhua.
“Certify something!”
Ryder wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say for a while. Li Ao was a person who knew the surname Lianhua and knew that their family was good at this kind of thing, so he naturally wouldn't object. Jane didn't think of other feasible solutions, and all three of them acquiesced.
It is impossible to do something like spying on news during the day, and the night is the most natural protective color. It is too wasteful to wait for tomorrow night, so they can't wait for this time, so they can simply tonight.
Everything was ready, Jane walked to Lianhua and took out a scroll and a dark blue stone from her backpack and handed it to him, explaining, "I set up a positioning magic circle outside the church. This scroll is a 'fixed teleportation scroll'. If you encounter trouble in the city lord's mansion, you can directly use it, and you can return to the church. The other is the memory stone, which can record your appearance along the way."
Lianhua understood Jian's meaning, put two things close to each other, took advantage of the night to pull out the window of Ryder's room, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"I'll try to communicate with the Holy Light again!" Ryder left the room as he said that.
"I've found a place to meditate." Jane left the room the second time.
"Really, then I can't fall behind!" Li Ao took off his clothes, dragged his giant sword naked, rushed into the rain with his huge sword, and began to practice.
Obviously, Ryder, Jane and Liao didn't want to wait for Lianhua to come back.
In the dark night, the lotus was running on the streets of Caslo City. There were no street lights, no moonlight, and it was drizzling. The surroundings were dark and the visibility was very low, but these did not affect the lotus. Strangely, the zombies that were wandering around during the day were all gone, and the entire Caslo City was like an empty city.
The closer you get to the City Lord's Mansion, the more fishy smell in the air is. "It seems that something is wrong with the City Lord's Mansion." Before you get to the City Lord's Mansion, you can confirm something. Lianhua thought this way, and looked at the City Lord's Mansion in the distance, jumped hard with his feet and climbed up the eaves. After getting on the eaves, Lianhua deliberately slowed down, pressed down on the footsteps, and bent his body slightly. From a distance, she looked more like a flexible black cat shuttled through the eaves.
Stopped on the last row of eaves, Lianhua lowered her body and lay on the eaves, revealing her eyes to look out. The City Lord's Mansion was close in front of her. The pungent fishy smell was emitted from the City Lord's Mansion. This smell made Lianhua feel a little disgusted, and she could only temporarily block her sense of smell with fighting spirit. A street, the City Lord's Mansion under the rain curtain was as majestic as ever, and a vermilion door was tightly closed, as if she was rejecting all visitors. A neat and powerful footsteps came from behind the gate, which made Lianhua a little confused because ordinary zombies did not make such a sound.
The situation in the city lord's mansion could not be seen clearly on the eaves, Lianhua simply stopped looking and jumped down from the eaves. With the momentum of falling, the "Shadow Shura" Dou Qi was released and covered her whole body. Before the "Shadow Curtain" had already been completed, she entered an invisible state. Under the cover of the darkness, the invisible state was more perfect and less likely to be noticed. After landing, Lianhua did not pause, and jumped high and flipped over the vermilion gate, and gently and steadily landed in the front yard of the city lord's mansion. Only then did she see clearly the owner who was the sound of footsteps just now, was a team of patrolling the mansion.
"Union soldiers? What's going on?" In order to figure out this doubt, Lianhua tiptoed to catch up with her.
Lianhua soon followed them, and the team of soldiers did not show that there was one more person around him, and continued to walk aimlessly in the front yard. They could not see Lianhua, but Lianhua saw them clearly. They were pale and lifeless faces, green and spiritless eyes.
"Infected!" Lianhua was a little surprised. This was the first time he saw such an infected person. It was completely different from what appeared during the day. This way, the soldiers in the palace should be more advanced. Suddenly, a terrible thought appeared in Lianhua's mind, "The zombie disease has been upgraded!" And not only this team, there were many soldiers in the palace standing guard around, probably all of whom were infected.
"Nothing! I've just entered the city lord's mansion and have already had such a thing. It seems that the situation is much more serious than I imagined!" Lianhua thought so, and quickly passed through the front yard. After entering the inner court and bypassing the guards, a faint candlelight attracted Lianhua's attention. If the candlelight is, it means that someone is there.
Following the candlelight, Lianhua came to the main hall of the city lord's mansion. This is what the city lord uses for guests or office work on weekdays. At this time, with the help of the faint candlelight on the pillar, you can vaguely see an old man sitting in the main seat with his eyes closed. Although the old man closed his eyes, powerful magic fluctuations filled the entire main hall.
Such powerful magic fluctuations are something Lianhua has never encountered before. It is just that feeling its existence outside the main hall makes people feel numb. With such powerful strength, the identity of the old man in the main position is about to emerge - the creator and spreader of zombie disease a hundred years ago, the magician who studies taboo necromantic magic, and the existence above the higher level.
After guessing the identity of the old man, Lianhua would not be so stupid that she entered the main hall again. There was no difference between entering the main hall and actively seeking death. Although she didn't go in, one thing was certain. From the sound of the old man's breathing, she could tell that he was very weak. With this appearance, Lianhua didn't stop for a long time. She tiptoed around the main hall, passed through the two guards, walked into the corridor next to her, and advanced deeper to the city lord's mansion. The inner courtyard was like the front yard, and there were guards and patrols, but the patrols.
The mansion has changed a lot, from the original first team to the third team. Lianhua easily passed through the invisible state, and there was nothing special about the inner courtyard. Just as Lianhua was planning to continue to explore in depth, a figure suddenly appeared in the inner courtyard. From the back, it can be seen that this should be a woman but a young woman. "Driving Ryder's woman!" This clue is also very critical. Lianhua has to follow him. Because she is not sure about the strength of this woman, she is just in case Lianhua does not follow her closely.
The woman was skillfully shuttled through the city lord's mansion, walking deeper and deeper, and finally walked into a basement. Outside the basement, there were nearly 20 soldiers standing guard, and there were as many soldiers patrolling as many as 5 teams. Looking at such a garrison force, "This basement is not simple!" Although she thought about this, Lianhua did not plan to go down now. It was too risky to go down now, and there were too many unknown things.
Lianhua walked around the mansion and lay down on the other side of the basement entrance, waiting patiently.
As time passed by bit by bit, Lianhua's Dou Qi was also consuming bit by bit. The Dou Qi that maintained the "Silhouette of Shadow" state was already very consumed, and Lianhua could no longer tell whether it was sweat or rain on her face, but even in this situation, Lianhua showed enough patience.
"Ah!!" A scream came from the basement and came into Lianhua's ears. "There are still living people?" Just as Lianhua was thinking this way, the woman walked out of the basement, but when she entered, she was alone. Now when she came out, there were two people behind her. From the angle where Lianhua was lying down, she could only see the backs of the two people. From the back, it can be seen that the height of these two people is over 2 meters, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a strong and rough figure. "What is this?" Just looking at the back makes Lianhua feel a dangerous aura.
